This issue was lasted for a hour but it was more at rural areas. Net.cn, Internet Service Provider owned by Alibaba says that the incident was known issue.
Some points out that whether the sites were actually down. As some of the China internet users who were using VPN to access the web didn't find any issue like this.
Compuware, IT performance company says that, issues seemingly related to the DNS, which could explain why VPN users were unaffected.
The actually reason behind the issue is not been cleared, or this may be the part of the Internet hacktivist group.
